openiddict-core VS Silk.NET

Openiddict is also an option. Check it out.https://github.com/openiddict/openiddict-core

To implement an OAuth server together with OpenID connect specification, I used a free and open source framework called Openiddict. You should checkout their GitHub repository at github.com/openiddict/openiddict-core. It is a nice and feature rich tool which help you get started very fast. However, comparing to alternatives like identity server, it needs more implementation rather functionalities coming out of the box.

You can use Openidict https://documentation.openiddict.com/, give it a try

Openiddict to create your own OpenID Connect server if you want to deep dive into auth https://github.com/openiddict/openiddict-core

If you do want a .NET IdP then you could look into OpenIddict but will require some hands on work, at a minimum authorisation controllers. If you're looking for something more out of the box OrchardCore's OpenId module might be better for you.

I personally prefer using Cookies with openiddict.

Also, the OAuth bit is very cool!! Do you plan to support OpenIddict it’s a free federated identity server.

Okta is a great example of an IdP, although there are many others. Auth0, Ping Federate, Amazon cognito, etc. OP also mentioned Identity Server, which is a framework for implementing your own IdP. I've also personally used an open-source library called [OpenIDDict[(https://documentation.openiddict.com/) to great success. I would highly recommend attempting to implement one of these providers as a learning exercise.

A couple other options than what has been suggested so far: - TerraFX.Interop.Windows. Raw, blittable, 1:1 bindings for all Win32, D2D/D3D11/D3D12 APIs (there's also a version with Vulkan bindings). As close to doing #include as you can get in C#. This is my personal favorite, I use it in my own ComputeSharp library, and transitively we use it in the Microsoft Store too 🙂 - Silk.NET another version of high-performance bindings, more opinionated than TerraFX and with some additional helpers to make it a bit easier to use.

Here is an example of using "releases" in GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/releases. Most repositories use releases and releases seem like they wpuld be appropriate for your repository too.

I've been looking at this. Is this similar to the UrhoSharp project you talk about? https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET

Have you looked at Silk.NET before?

Take a look at https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET . You should be able to use your existing rendering context with it. So you could use something like imgui (They have bindings for that) to render your UI. Or if you just start writing your rendering code, you could consider writing the whole rendering engine with it. I used it in the past for a game engine and performance is no problem for most of the usecases.

If you want something more ".NET like", check out Silk.NET instead. It's also community maintained and in the .NET Foundation, but does name remappings, friendly API overloads, and other things that make it feel more ".NET like": https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET
